I'am going to post these comments here where their is high traffic and is related to this adventure.
I've really never need to use the search feature much due to the fact my zx is in good shape. I tell others to search because I been reading posts for 4years plus. (never signed up for over a year)
So now I have 4 or so hours in two seperated events into research and this is what I've come up with:
1 coverting p90a to solid lifters useing timeserts. Reason don't want to screw with lose of pressure and response. (no arugument please, not my point).
2 Cam in the hydrolic head has a different ramp and can eat it's self in a solid lifft application.
3 WaS not sure of the make of old stock cam I have (p79 or one out of a n47 head I had). Found that it is a p79 (F) cam.
4 p79 cam will give me better duration on exh and slight more lift on the intake for the turbo.
5 Combustion chamber is the same on my 82 p79 and the P90a but will flow better due to the square port ext. (this point may be aurgable, but it is where I'am putting my money on.) Plus no inserts on the ext that MAY fail, not saying they will.
6 Found c/r stuff but can't remember where but I intend to keep mine low as possible due to the fact I want to run meth w/o a intercooler, also ceramic coat, 2nd generation. (This is just what I want at this time, NOT saying its the best!!!!!!) PS my n47 head would of given me approx 9.75 c/r.
Now being familiar with the termanology if problaby made my searching eaasier but the site is for geared for those who have at least a rudamentral understanding of cars. THE SEARCH BUTTON WORKS FANTASTIC!!!
Did notice how many threads were of the same topic which was fine due to lttle piceses that were not in everyone. When I found this: http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/cam/index.htm I felt like I hit the jackpot!
Still looking for the timesert part #, and loved the viedo of BigPhil showing the conversion from hydro to solid, plus the new springs and keepers install.
So here is my point:
In what would of cost me untold amouts of trail and error, costing who knows how much money and patience I found in four hours on this site!
The amount of time triing to find this stuff..... don't want to even think about that!
So a big THANKYOU to the many lifetimes of hard work and reasearch that you all have contributed FREELY to the data base on HYBRIDZ! Yes I've not donated yet.
No b.s. I do realize especially now the value of such a condensed and consolidated data resource this site is, again THANKYOU! Peace.
